The spans produced during this instance are listed here, one card per span.

For how this screen fits together and what sits above the tab row, see the [Agent instance page](/admin-ui/agent-instance).

## Spans

The activity list renders one card per span. Each card shows the span title, a one-line summary, the duration and start/end timestamps, and a status badge. Hovering a card reveals **View**, which opens the span detail panel.

Possible span status values: Pending, Active, Complete, Failed, or Cancelled.

Agents instrumented with the OpenClaw plugin (a conversational agent integration; see [OpenClaw plugin](/sdks/typescript-sdk/api/packages/openclaw-prefactor-plugin)) render the same span data in a **Conversation** layout by default — a structured view suited to conversational agent workflows — with a **Raw** view available to see the underlying spans.

## Span detail

Selecting **View** on a span opens an in-page detail panel (URL-patched modal) that shows:

- **Payload** – the span's input payload.
- **Result** – the span's output payload, when one was recorded.

Both fields render as JSON. The panel does not show nested child spans; to see a child span, open it from its own card in the list.
